A subgenre of metal music, considered by many to be the original extreme metal genre. It essentially began as a derivative of speed metal, played by bands like Motorhead and Overkill. Thrash metal took the high speed aspect of such bands, and added NWOBHM influenced melodies, and more progressive elements to the music.
Thrash metal's origins trace back to the early 1980's, and San Fransisco is considered the birthplace of most of the thrash greats. Thrash metal bands include Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Kreator, etc. It has proved to be very influential to almost every metal style that has come about since it's inception, and has experienced somewhat of a popularity revival in recent years.

A person who listens mainly to Thrash Metal, wears black band t-shirts, black or faded blue denim pants, leather or denim jacket, usually spikes and possibly plays an instrument or sings. Often politically minded.
We tend to be feared and disliked by the mainstream society, but we hate them anyways, and we enjoy beating up skaters and emo boys.
Quite similar to punk

Punks and Thrash Metallers tend to get along well, seeing as how they have similar styles.
